The Schools Building the Best Running Back Classes in 2021

According to 247

Power and speed. Cody Brown is the type of back we haven't had in a while. Big and strong with a compact build. Made to wear a defense out in the 4th quarter.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

We back!

 

[tennesseeduke]

Tiyon Evans looks like a beast. Travis Henry clone. Was Travis hanging out in the lower part of South Carolina back around 2002?

 

[ALGator]

Feels like ________________

a.) 96
b.) 97
c.) 98
d.) 99

 

[orangebloodgmc]

We back!

Not quite yet.

But getting there.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Our running game is going to be more like it used to be than it is now.

 

[tnutater]

The best running backs still need the best big uglies. We are short linemen on both sides in this class, so far.

I know we're talking about the future, but the current offensive line is one of the things I'm most excited about this year.

I agree. We're pretty set at OG for a few years though... We really need sign a few big time tackles in this cycle. The good ones are hard to come by...

 

[dcm3w]

Hurd

They run different IMO and Brown has a more compact frame which is ideal for RB.

Don't sleep on Evans

 

[keenobserver]

Lets not sleep on this one either. He's up to 200 now and has a confirmed 4.3 forty time...Graham found him early while at T/AM

I love this!!! Great video!

OL class of 20: Mays,Spraggins, Robinson
OL class of 21: Smith

Not exactly Dooleyesque, but there is room for concern.
Barry Sanders or Hershel Walker could not run behind the Sullins twins.

All project to be guards along with 19' Akporoghene who redshirted last season. Lampley redshirted as well. I think he's OG or C...

C. Smith is the only tackle body out of all of them. OG and OT aren't as interchangeable as most people realize. Besides QB, it's probably the position that is hardest to find quality at in the SEC...

I agree. As great as Trey Smith is, I feel his time at tackle proves your point about there being a big difference.

 

[tnutater]

The days of a double TE (tackle extended) vs a 4-3 defense are over.
CPF always said he wanted the best 5 linemen on the field. Tackles are much different now.

 

[CR-vol]

They're just trying to get clicks. I want to see some results on the field before they get any undeserved credit for being among the best. This is like the pre-season polls that project us in the top 25 and we haven't played a solitary down yet. I'm excited too but let's not get caught up in some hype.

 

[tnvols72]

I know we're talking about the future, but the current offensive line is one of the things I'm most excited about this year.

We are getting ready to find out if Will Friend is the weak link or not. This is his year.

Hardesty finished 20th in rushing yards in 09 w/1300 yds behind the Sullins. Were they 5 stars? No. But 2 walk ons that absolutely ended up being better than some of the products Butch put on the field at Oline.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Need to get the running game working this year. Can't rely on JG for more than 0.9 TD per game.

VS Bama 48 yards
VS GA 97 yards
VS FL 96 yards
Yards against Ohio, Western KY, and the like...who cares?
